Abstract :
It is often difficult to grasp an entire view clearly from partial images of the inside of pipes by endoscopes because of their narrow sight. In this report, the authors propose an effective system which helps the inspection of the inside of cylindrical pipes accurately and immediately by composing panoramic views from their partial images
